Has anyone used the app here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12728498#post12728498
If so does it work well on the 3d or do you use a different method?

That will work, but the method I always use is to wip battery stats and let the phone die, fully charge, and then let it die again. After that, the battery will be much better.
This actually does what Viper is talking about. All it does is simply delete the battery stats. Some say it helps, while some articles have said it does not help battery because the stats help tell the phone how to use the battery to its full potential. Personally, when I switched to Vipers rom I used this then emptied/charged it, froze sense and all bloatware through ViperMod (control?) and flashed the SBC kernel. It has been on for 4 hours now, with reddit and texting, and it is at 96%. That is ****ing amazing.
I taped 2 batteries together and they calibrate well, thanks.
Haha sorry about the typo guys and thanks for the advice ill try it when I come back from work tonight and see what happens.

Before wiping bat stats should the battery be at 100 or close to it (seems like stops at 99) and then wipe. Also should I do this with your stock rom first and then apply the test 5 sbc kernal or can i do it with the test kernal already installed?

The battery seemed to last longer after I let it charge for 2 hours past the time the LED turned green for 4 days.

Don't know how fast extremely is.. I used to get 12-14 hrs. on Simply honey with moderate usage (25+ calls, text , few hours on the web and very little wi- fi) If you aren't getting that recalibrate as the post said above.
Also, this is a Gingerbread ROM so the battery life isn't going to be as good as Froyo anyway.

If you have Simply Honey on it then you are rooted and free to flash anything. The first thing to do is go onto settings/about phone and see what version you have and then decide if you want to stay with a custom rom or just put it back to stock. There are numerous tutorial threads here and plenty of people willing to help you out.
Good luck.

Calibrate your battery!
- There seems to be a safety feature in Gingerbread or Samsung's version of Gingerbread that causes the battery to start draining when it reaches 100%. That said to calibrate your battery properly you must do it as soon as the battery full pop up appears.
- Download the app found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1024867 and follow the on screen instructions.

The app referenced up there is really simple to use and works great.

I am on Blitzkrieg Gingerbread and my battery only lasts about 6 hours when I am not connected to a WiFi. I use the re calibrating app every morning, or when I have to recharge to 100%, and it does not seem to be helping any!!! I really do not want to downgrade to Froyo, but if that is what its going to take to get 14+ out of my battery, then I guess I will. Any suggestions?????

get to 100%
use a file manager
head to data/system
delete batterystat.bin or somtehing similar its at the top.
Delete that.
It has been said over and over again that on CM7 doing that helps, and it actually does, i never asked why just doing it helps.
I'm thinking its because its a 2.3 rom, buttttt idk.

I found out if you run your x2 down to around five percent battery and then charge it overnight with your comcast cable box, it charges it slower so it keeps the charge longer. I guarantee you will get good results with this. Also, first post

You do not have proof, upload a couple of screen shots of your actual battery usage.
I don't know why this isn't a bigger issue, or at least something that's questioned and crabbed about more often. I just rebooted at 50% battery, came back up on the other side of that reboot at 79%. Seriously? That seems like a huge jump and a much bigger issue than a few jabs and laughs. Am I missing something?
Saw somewhere that the problem surfaced at 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 had it right. I think there's a file 2.3.4 can't write to correctly or something.

It does seem to help a little, but it does not resolve the problem. Very next time you reboot, the reading could jump up 10-30 points. This has been a "big deal" on the forum - been discussed ad nauseam in several different threads. Seems to effect several different phone models. I think most folks have just accepted the fact that there's not much can be done about it until the kernel is fixed. Ironically, while the battery level anomaly happened with the upgrade to 2.3.4, the same upgrade has resulted in much better overall battery life. That's a trade-off I can live with.

Yeah, especially coming from the Guy who created this. I'm not the smartest at technology, but I'm pretty sure charging your battery to the max will drain just as fast no matter how slowly you charge it.

Re: [ROM] 07-22-2012 JELLYBLUR V1.2 CM7.2 - SPJESTER Production
Media volume appears to be jacked up on this ROM. When turning my volume down 3 notches, it almost goes silent. Did I miss a fix in the settings? Sorry to post this under the "Random Q&A" section but it appears that XDA micromanages harder than my boss. Thus, I can't communicate with the actual dev. Yes, I've searched this site as well as Rootzwiki, but have not found an answer. Thanks for your time!

I do like how it gets quiet quickly, however it kind of defeats the purpose if it goes silent before you get to the bottom of your media volume. I think whatever it is it's also influencing the peak volume. Don't get me wrong, I've said it before and I'll say it again: by far the most reliable ROM I've run to date on my Bolt. Thanks for all the time you're investing!

No problem. I wasn't trying to call you out, just confused. To answer your question, it looks like you may have to patch the ROM yourself to make it compatible. This recent version had fixed compatibility issues with a few ROMs, but since Jester's is new I doubt it includes his ROM (even though it's CM based, there are going to be differences). See the screenshot below or visit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056
Then again, I could be completely off base...

The baked in Battery Calibration app will do it for you, but it's recommended to barge to 100% before callibrating. You can also clear battery stats through recovery where you would clear your dalvik. There should be an option to clear battery stats.

My x10 is about 2 1/2 years old now. I'm unlocked bootloader and running Wolf's ROM. In the past month the phone has started shutting off randomly...it gives me an 'Android System...shutting down' message...sits on the screen for 10 seconds or so and then turns off. Doesn't matter what battery % i have left. Often when recording video but yesterday it did it in the camera app and then once checking twitter. Sometimes it can go days without doing it...other days its just really annoying.
Any thoughts?

4 hours can be spectacular battery life depending on what you're doing for those 4 hours...so some more information on what you're doing could be helpful. The charging time on our phones suck, I don't think you can get around that one.

Interesting, I can't recall the exact time it takes mine to charge from near-dead to full, but I know it's at least 3 hours.
Mitensheth, if your screen is on constantly for those 4 hours..I think it's normal for your battery to drain quickly.
Search. Read. Read. Read...
Read. Search again. Read. Flash.
Problem solved. You are very welcome my friend!

I tend to believe that AOSP based roms have better battery life than stock bassed. Use Siyah kernel, and install Extweaks from the Play Store, and google recommended settings for it. It will help to maximize your battery life.

I disagree with that. ShoStock 2 gave some nice battery life. This is why people must try all of them

It's personal usage that counts for a lot of the user experience. What I do with my phone and how I have it set up make a big difference. Screen brightness, synching Facebook, twitter, email, etc.

Where can I download this Siyah kernel you are talking abt? Will I have to re root the phone after flashing? Also my phone is not from the country I am in.. will it get locked?

Thanks. Agree. This is what counts in the end. There are other factors that go by the hand with the user. for example, maybe there is one rom which more efficient when the phone is on deep sleep than when is awake, and then there is another rom that its more efficient when the phone is awake. Which should have better battery life? One may think "Easy. The one that handles deep sleep better." But that may not be true in all cases, if you use your phone A LOT, and you are constantly keeping it awake, playing games, surfing, reading, texting and doing more stuff, maybe the one that handles the awake time better is going to be the better choice, because in the long run, you are going to get more juice out of your phone. Just an hypothetic case though.
Is better to try all the roms around and try to be aware of what type of user you are, so you can make a better choice.

I would recommend that too. :good:
A way to compare battery consumption is to see how much the phone uses when idle. For example, leave the phone alone for 1 or 2 hours everyday and see how much it burned during that time. My phone averages from 0.3 to 2% per hour. Use this test with other ROMs as well. Also, at the end of days of extensive use (3 hours or more of screen on time), I average 5 to 6% per hour (Percentage of power used divided by number of hours since unplugged). If you've unplugged your phone 3 hours ago and you're at 75% --> 25/3 = 8.33%/hour.
Use the percentage of consumption in idle mode and the average consumption at the end of the day when comparing ROMs and kernels.
